What other radios besides the DE1121 can make unattended digital recordings of over-the-air broadcasts?
Some mp3 recorders (e.g. iRiver T10) can make timer recordings of FM broadcasts. The only one I’m aware of that can record AM and FM is the Pogo Radio Yourway. It is specifically designed to make unattended radio program recordings. It has more flexible weekly timer settings than the DE1121, so you can program it to record only on specific days of the week. In my experience it’s FM reception is poor, even with the included FM antenna attachment. In theory, it should make better recordings of music broadcasts than the DE1121, since it can record with a higher bitrate, but this is offset by the poor quality of FM reception. (The DE1121’s bitrate is 32Kbs for timer recordings.) The Radio Yourway is about the size of an iPod, which makes it a bit small and awkward for tabletop use. It uses removable SD cards of up to 1Gb in size in addition to 128Mb or 512Mb of internal memory. It sells for around $200. Many shelf sized stereo systems include an alarm that can trigger a cassette recorder f
